The flowers of June
The gates of memory unbar:
The flowers of June
Such old-time harmonies retune,
I fain would keep the gates ajar,–
So full of sweet enchantment are
The flowers of June.
–_James T. White._
Who loves not June
Is out of tune
With love and God;
The rose his rival reigns,
The stars reject his pains,
His home the clod!
And yet I trow,
When sweet _rondeau_
Doth play a part,
The curtain drops on June;
Veiled is the modest moon–
Hushed is the heart.
(Mary Baker Eddy)
